This is ridiculous, it was annoying enough that my comment has to be promoted by a starred commenter for it to be visible to most people nevermind that my tips and tag-topics are completely invisible.
So please fix this, get rid of the promotion system (I think I've been a good, consistent Kommenter and shouldn't have my views ignored just because someone hasn't nominated me for a witty post I made at some point), and give me back the ability to choose between viewing threads from oldest first or newest first.
End the discrimination between starred and unstarred commenters now! If not, then remember- we outnumber you. Us lowly peasants are willing to rise against our feudal masters and make an assault on Kotaku Kastle itself!

Second, I'm pretty sure they said that all commenters will be able to open pages soon enough, they just didn't want the site flooded with new pages right off the bat, so right now it's restricted to star commenters. Think of it as a closed beta. #talkamongstyourselves

I wrote up a general how-to with the new tag system, #howdoitag
Click on your name at the top of the page (easy to miss as it's light grey), click on settings when it loads, and you can choose to have hidden threads shown, and what chronological order posts appear.
Pitchforks and torches have been put out and away for awhile now though. #talkamongstyourselves

If you must have some kind of ranking system in place, why not use the approve/disapprove buttons per post so people can decide for themselves the merit of a comment? #talkamongstyourselves

1. you need to be a Star, sucks but as NeoStarr said they don't want it being used n abused with folks adding say 5 tags at the end of their posts. :P
2. even if you are a Star it doesn't always work
3.its pointless anyway, unless you know what hashtag you are looking for beyond the 4 on the top of the page.
4. to change the hidden threads n chronological order go to Profile - Settings- Oldest first
5. If you've been consistent n regular then you'll get your Star eventually. Not everyone *wink* got their star from COTW. #talkamongstyourselves

Sometimes I like to Show Featured Comments Only and just read the good, not worrying about the bad (especially when there are several pages worth of comments). It's a nice option to have, even though I mostly Show All Comments so I can approve and promote the good stuff.
I think it's all about separating the wheat from the chaff. Lord knows there's enough chaff on the internet to distract a radar-guided missile.
I understand the frustration, but at the same time I also understand the idea behind the system. It works for the most part, but it can take a long, long time for some great commenters to actually receive a star (NeöStarr is a good example of this, in my opinion). #talkamongstyourselves

Witz, Bash, Muu, insights?

Equality of respect, not necessarily because Iwata is Miya's boss. -sama is really only used for really formal stuff, or in places where the person is truly above you (i.e., you'd only call your boss -sama in say a formal Shinto or Buddhist ritual, but the Emperor is always -sama). #shigerumiyamoto

Either way, I'm waiting for his next idea as much as anyone else. <3

Miyamoto: So, can I begin work on Wii Fit 2? We can unveil it at E3 with the new Balance Board Plus!
Iwata: Yes! Absolutely!
Miyamoto: [laughs]
Iwata: [laughs, while counting money]

Well, I say it's 5 and a half inches today. Huh, not quite as long as I thought. Guess I ain't in the mood today.
10/14/09
Damn! Beat me to it!
But this is Asians we're talking about. I'd say at most, 3 and a half inches on a good day.
Yeah, that was kinda racist.
10/14/09
I'm part Asian and I'm 6. If there is one thing I cannot stand, it is people assuming the size of my member. One day, I will get elected as a senator and whip it out, proving once and for all that not every Asian has a tiny, thin chopstick.
10/14/09
Lol I'm actually part Asian to. xD
It doesn't show one bit, but my last name is very Chinese. It's confusing. My mom is white and my dad is from Jamaica but his grandparents have a Chinese background.
Eh, I guess that explains why I like video games so much.
Wow, racist again lol. I just offended myself. :(
10/14/09
I have no idea why the Americans have this assumption. I'm pure Asian and I'm close to 6. Beside, I think the average difference between the two ethnic groups is merely 0.3 inches.

10/14/09
Asians always say they have a 6.
10/14/09
It was also a stupid joke.
